PER CURIAM.

      In August 2000, Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), a nationally known
geotechnical, testing, inspection, and engineering consulting firm, learned a local
Kansas City competitor was using the name PSI Inspection, Inc. (PSI Inspection). PSI
learned of PSI Inspection through four clients who reported having contacted PSI
Inspection, mistakenly thinking each had contacted PSI. PSI sought and received a
preliminary injunction, prohibiting PSI Inspection from infringing on its protected

of South Dakota, sitting by designation.
service mark under either Missouri common law or the Lanham Act. After a three-day
trial, the district court** granted a permanent injunction, ordering PSI Inspection to
change its name. See First Nat’l Bank, Sioux Falls v. First Nat’l Bank, S.D., 

, 888 (8th Cir. 1998) (explaining successful service mark infringement action
requires likely marketplace confusion). The district court found PSI Inspection
abandoned its mark during a five-year suspension of its testing license by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC), thus PSI was the senior user of the mark in the Kansas
City area. PSI Inspection appeals, claiming the district court adopted mistaken facts
and erroneously granted a permanent injunction. Having reviewed the grant of
permanent injunction for abuse of discretion and findings of fact for clear error, we
affirm. See Shen v. Leo A. Daly Co., 

, 477 (8th Cir. 2000).

        In reviewing PSI Inspection’s claims of factual error, we do not reweigh the
evidence. See Nat’l Am. Ins. Co. v. Hogan, 

, 1109 (8th Cir. 1999).
“Where there are two permissible views of the evidence, the [district court]’s choice
between them cannot be clearly erroneous.” 

v. City of Bessemer
City, 

, 574 (1985)). PSI Inspection disputes the district court’s conclusion
that it abandoned its mark during the five-year suspension of its NRC testing license.
PSI Inspection asserts it was the senior user of the mark in the Kansas City area, the
inspection division did not cease operations, and it continued to offer radiographic
testing during its NRC suspension. In addition, PSI Inspection argues the two
companies were not direct competitors but peacefully and knowingly coexisted for
several years. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find PSI Inspection’s view
presents, at best, merely one of two permissible interpretations. Thus, the district
court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. 

find the district court did
not abuse its discretion in ordering a permanent injunction, we reject PSI Inspection’s

, 847 (8th Cir. 1999), cert. denied,

       Finding no clear error or abuse of discretion, we thus affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
